Washington DC (Jan. 5, 2016) — “Anacostia Unmapped” is underway in the Southeast neighborhood of Washington D.C. WAMU 88.5 , a local public radio station is one of 15 chosen after a national competition to incubate storytelling experiments and expand public media to more Americans.

Washington DC independent producer Katie Davis will work with residents for nine months (until July) to record stories and produce them for radio. “Anacostia Unmapped” recognizes that you can’t build bridges with a community in mere days. We’ll dig deeper for compelling stories, leverage new digital tools, and challenge WAMU 88.5 staff to rethink how to identify and place stories about this part of DC.
